Are you familiar with MSAs, or Medical Savings Accounts? I've just begun
researching these, and so far I'm intrigued. I don't have any links to
post, but I will when I think I know what I'm talking about. I like
universal healthcare as well, as I have come to think of it as a right under
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Health is wealth, after all.
It's just that my libertarian leaning brain doesn't get it yet. If a
universal healthcare plan was administered by the private sector and had an
oversight committee or something I think I could go along. It just seems
like a good idea waiting to be usurped by a bunch of bad men in the current
social, economic and political climate.

I am for a universal health care plan much like canada
has right now.

Universal health care is a fiasco waiting to happen. The health
care system in Canada, long held up as the "standard" by which all
health plans are measured, is in terrible shape. Did you know that
there are more MRI machines per capita south of the border (Mexico and
South America) than in all of Canada? To get an MRI in Canada, plan on
waiting anywhere between 12 to 14 weeks. People tend to die before ever
getting diagnosed (which I guess saves money in the long run).
In some provinces, 1/3 of their GROSS revenues is going to health
care coverage, and this does not include the costs of kidney dialysis
care. If you are over a certain age, your dialysis is no longer
covered. Sorry about that. Cheap drugs, you say? Only because the
government subsidizes the purchase of said drugs. So, the people are
paying again, in the end.
Off the record, many of Canada's senior officials in their Health
Care System have conceded that they would travel to Seattle,
Minneapolis, or Buffalo if they had cancer or heart problems. Not
exactly a ringing endorsement for the standard in Universal Health care,
is it?
Removing the profit motive (the free market) stifles innovation,
both in the development of medical procedures and new "miracle" drugs.
Invariably, the newest procedures, drugs, and research come out of the
money grubbing private sector.
Universal health care? I'll pass, thank you.
